I don't know, i think that people taking pictures of me would be flattering ... but then again, im not a CM and if I had random people outside of DL taking pictures of me I might go to the police :confused:

That seems strange that the "official" policy is to not take pics of CMs. I suppose they have to have it in there somewhere for CM protection or something. A former storybook girl was one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen, and some APs started noticing this so they started a "fan Club", made Tshirts and everything and came alomost everyday. I know it started to make her uncomfortable, so I guess it's good there is that "official" policy to possibly put a stop to behavior like that if needed??

I loved taking pics with guests and I always like to imagine all the photo albums and picture frames I might be in to remind people of their experience at DL.

I think the official policy is not to take pictures of cast members out of character- or in their costumes but being themselves. In training we were told that if we were wearing the costume we MUST act Disney. I got asked to be in more pictures walking to my car at the end of the night than I did on Stage- and as much as I would have LOVED to tell people "I'm off work leave me alone" I was the idiot who forgot to change first so I would smile and say sure and "Have a magical day!"

But I have several pictures of my friends and I in costume but being ourselves. Its trippy to see all these "Disney" looks being very un-disney

I'll be around in the next month or so, so if any of you CMs see some college student with a manual 35mm camera, you can probably assume it's me.

An Asian guy with a camera at Disneyland - now THAT is what I call CONSPICUOUS. You very, very rarely see anyone like that at Disneyland, so it'll be really easy to spot you.

My fondest memory of Walt Disney was the day Disneyland opened....I was standing next to him - I was 12 years old - he was looking at the gate where people were coming through, he had his hands behind his back, he had a grin from ear to ear, but you could see the lump in his throat and the tear coming down his cheek because his dream had been realized. -- Mouseketeer Sharon Baird, "Mouseke-Memories", Walt Disney Treasures: The Mickey Mouse Club

Indeed!!

Good morning, son
In twenty years from now
Maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers
And I can tell you 'bout today
And how I picked you up and everything changed
It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things...
